Version 2
Aftermarket Shock Compatibility Listing.
Version 2 of this Springer Kit allows fitment to most of the popular brands of aftermarket rear shock absorbers for the Triumph Bobber.
Most aftermarket shocks don't require any changes to be made to allow fitment of the Springer Kit but some do.
The information below highlights those changes where necessary.

​
The shocks listed above as 'may need to be rotated' have a gas-filling screw mounted to the side of the top housing and that may cause interference with the spring mounting bracket. Removing and rotating the shock 180deg. puts that screw on the underside of the shock and out of the way.
If that screw is not visible on your shock then possibly the shock was originally installed with the screw to the underside.
​
Hagon SMTDAD76H No changes needed.
HyperPro 460 No changes needed.
K-Tech Razor Lite No changes needed.
Matris M40D May need to be rotated 180deg.

Shocks with external expansion chambers e.g. Nitron R3 and Wilbers 643 Competition will not work with this kit so we have
